Notes
[edit]- Rattletrap is a homage to Rattrap from Beast Wars, specifically his "Dawn of Future's Past" Cybertronian form.
- Rattletrap's name comes off as a portmanteau of Rattrap's American name and his Japanese name (Rattle), but "rattletrap" is actually a word (with an amusingly appropriate meaning).
- Rattletrap's face was given to Transformers fan Ben "Peaugh" Dolle in the form of a Twitter avatar as a gift from Derrick Wyatt. Little did he know it was a spoiler in disguise![2]
- Rattletrap's voice owes a little more to Lou Costello than Rattrap's did.
- Amongst the illegal services Rattletrap is known to provide are shock pop datatrax, prismaball tickets, and forged S.T.A.R.S. idento-cards.
- Seeing how he shares the body-type with Ransack, it is safe to assume that he transforms into a Cybertronian bike.
Foreign names
[edit]- Japanese: Rattletrap (ラトルトラップ Ratorutorappu)
